Description: | A complete knapped probably late Mesolithic- early Neolithic retouched flint blade, c. 7000-3500 BC. The remains of the platform and small bulb of percussion are present on the proximal ventral face, along with conchoidal ripples. When proximal end is oriented up, the right mesial edge of the proximal end to middle of the tool has been retouched, perhaps for hafting or for gripping. On the same edge further towards the distal end there is additional less invasive retouch. Similar retouch is visible on the left mesial distal end. The flint is of an even light-dark grey colour with some chert inclusions. The blade measures 63 mm long, 23.9mm wide, 8.1mm thick and weighs 12.5 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
